Abstract

Presents a collection of slides covering the following topics: Wearable textile systems: reliability concerns; energy-efficiency concerns. MIMO techniques for off-body communication. Reliability versus energy-efficiency. Space-time coding versus beam forming. Integrating energy harvesters on textile antennas. Solar-cell PIFA antenna. Robust wearable antennas for GPS/Galileo positioning. Providing stable performance in adverse conditions. On-body wearable repeater as relay for implants. In-to-out body communication in an endoscopy application.
